The Perfect Murder

This could be an excellent show. Unfortunately, it is not. During each episode, the policemen/women come up with two ridiculous scenarios describing how they think the crime happened. Then, they go about solving the crime. Without the two ridiculous scenarios, this would be a great show. I am hopeful that the reality of detective work is not quite this stupid. I feel sorry for the writers. They have to come up with something that the detectives probably didn't think of, and that only leaves outlandish ideas. I am hopeful that future episodes might leave out this part of the show, which would only leave the good writing, and the good show.

Just watched 2 consecutive episodes from season 4, one set in a small town in Ohio and one in Atlanta. They used the exact same sets, and appeared to use the same exterior shots too. The 2 foot snowbanks and snowy small town exteriors really took me out of the 'Atlanta' story. It was weird because there wasn't even a need for exterior establishing shots, and yet, there they were. There was obviously no effort made to accurately portray the correct eras that the stories were set in. It's like, why not do better when it would be so easy to make it not quite so atrocious?

Whatever. It's still pretty entertaining, and it's super fun to make fun of while watching. And yeah, the acting and writing is terrible, but it's a fun kind of terrible so I had to give it 9 stars.

I came home to find my husband watching this, and I usually love crime shows. I can't stop laughing. The acting, the writing, the weird scenarios, the dialoge between the detectives that keep calling eachother "partner ", a car was blown up in 1985 and he was in a brand new kia. This show is just the worst. As John Taffer would say, SHUT IT DOWN.

As others have accurately written, this show combines atrocious writing with even worse acting. The Talking Head experts are a joke, especially the older female Judge who dresses like a 20 year old about to hit the disco.

How in the world does a show where every review is either a 1 or 2 have a comprehensive rating over 7? Something doesn't add up. This show might be the worst of the True Crime genre out there now.

The acting is so bad in this series. Awful. I've seen better acting in porno movies. I don't know how in the hell the producers of this could see this and not think, wow this sucks.
